WHY CHOOSE US
Three ways to experience the adventure. One city to uncover.
We have designed three different types of guided treasure hunts in Venice to suit every kind of group and every type of desire: families looking for magic for their children, those who want to challenge themselves with a fully immersive investigation, and those who want to celebrate with thrill and irony during a fun bachelor or bachelorette party.
What's your choice?
TREASURE HUNTS FOR FAMILIES
Adventures for young explorers
For parents who want to enjoy Venice in total relaxation.
In our guided versions, the guide takes on the role of entertainer and storyteller. This allows parents to switch off and enjoy the beauty of Venice, while we take care of managing the pace of the game and the educational engagement of the children.
For children aged 4 to 8
The Secrets of the Night: The Codega’s Helpers
This is an exclusive experience, available only with a private guide. You will explore the Cannaregio district following the traces of the legendary Codega, the figure who once lit the dark calli with his lantern. It’s a narrative and interactive tour where children solve puzzles inspired by “soft” Venetian legends, discovering that mystery can be magical and fun.
Duration
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
Reward
Small gift for the children.
Route
Approximately 1.5 km in the Cannaregio district, starting from Ex Teatro Italia and ending near Misericordia.
Difficulty level

The Guardians of the Lagoon: Mission Venice
An adventure designed to raise awareness among children about respecting the Venetian ecosystem. Together with the guide, they will face “urban survival” challenges, learning the importance of water and civic care. An educational game that ends with the official delivery of the Guardian Diploma—a lasting memory of their commitment to the city.
Duration
2 hours.
Reward
Small final gift for the children.

Urban Escape Game - Treasure hunt for adults
Mystery investigations for couples and groups of friends
Two challenges designed for couples and small groups of friends who want to have fun and test themselves.
The presence of a real, in-person guide transforms these investigations into a true live mystery: hidden codes, unsolved secrets, and the city as a noir backdrop.
For groups of friends, young travelers, and mystery lovers
The Cursed Palace: The Dark Investigation
An investigation through the shadows of La Serenissima, designed for those who aren’t afraid to challenge legends. Atmospheric and intriguing, it’s at its best at sunset, when St. Mark’s Square becomes a quiet and magical setting.
Duration
Approximately 2 hours.
Reward
Final gift for the group.
Route
Approximately 2 km, from the grandeur of St. Mark’s Square to the charm of Campo Santi Apostoli.
Difficulty level
For couples, art lovers, and curious minds
The Secret of Titian: The Canvas of Forgiveness
Our most intellectual challenge. A brutal crime shakes 16th-century Venice and entrusts you with an investigation that has remained unsolved for centuries, centered around the legendary painter Titian.
Duration
Between 2 and 2.5 hours.
Reward
Final gift for the group.
Route
2 itineraries of approximately 2.5–3 km each, starting from the Train Station or San Marco and ending at Fondamente Nove.
Difficulty level
Treasure hunt following the footsteps of Casanova
SPECIAL BACHELOR & BACHELORETTE
Our most popular activity for celebrating a bachelor or bachelorette party in Venice.
Along the route, the group will face challenges and small creative “dares” designed to involve the bride- or groom-to-be and their friends, making the experience playful, memorable, and just the right amount of cheeky.
In the Footsteps of Casanova
Not just a walk, but a dive into the libertine and seductive Venice of the 18th century. The perfect experience for those who want to have fun together while discovering the most human, and “spicy”, side of Venetian history.
You will retrace the life of the world’s most famous seducer. But beware: Casanova didn’t only love single women, his affairs with married noblewomen led him to prison.
Mystery and Magic
You’ll also uncover his darker side, shaped by his presence in theatres and a dangerous fascination with black magic, which made him feared by the powerful.
Duration
Approximately 2 hours.
Route
Approximately 1.5 km, from the San Polo district to San Marco.
"Bacarando" Version
You can add stops in traditional bacari to toast along the way (total duration: approximately 3 hours).

HOW TO TAKE PART
Which format do you prefer?
You can choose between two ways to experience these guided adventures. Every group is different. Whether you’re looking for an intimate experience or a competitive challenge, we have the right format for you.
THE PLEASURE OF STAYING TOGETHER
Single Team
One shared goal, no divisions. Your private guide stays physically by your side for the entire experience, enriching the journey with stories, insights, and anecdotes that only a local can share.
This is the best option for small groups of friends or families who want a continuous and in-depth narrative. It’s also the ideal format for bachelor and bachelorette parties.
Why choose it?
To enjoy everyone’s company without splitting up, and to be guided through the history of the city.
ADRENALINE & COMPETITION
Team Challenge
Ideal for larger groups who enjoy competition and challenge. You can split into teams of 4–7 people each. The guide welcomes everyone at the beginning to present the challenges and provide the game kit.
Each team follows different routes and challenges, carefully designed to ensure a fair and dynamic competition. During the game, the guide supports you remotely via WhatsApp, before everyone reunites at the final meeting point.
Why choose it?
To test yourselves, race against time, and experience the thrill of victory.
